Learning about fabric. Muslin?
#1
In my search for an affordable fabric to start with, I found some muslin listed on Ebay.
This is what the seller says about it -
I am hoping to use it to make a cathedral window quilt. Would this be a bad choice for any reason?

This is 36 inch wide light weight muslin. This was not on the correct cardboard when I bought it. My best guess, after going to the fabric store, is that it is bleached pern. press muslin.

For me personally I would rather stick with fabric of a known content- Muslin can be tricky(?) to begin with then throw in the uncertainty of content - nope - not for me, sorry
what about Joanns when it is on sale ?

If you mean physically going to a Joanns store, I'll have to wait about a year to do that. They don't have any of those in Japan. Maybe I could find something from their online stores?
The only thing I ever used muslin for was doing a drape/pattern making.

Thanks everyone :) So the muslin is out for this project then. The price was pretty nice though.
What does everyone think of a cotton broadcloth? Too heavy? The finished blocks will be 4 layers thick. I also don't know about the eventual cost. I will need somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 yards.
